“Selling? I’m not selling anything.”

“There you are,” said Kiko, coming up alongside Dom before he could ask another question. He let Kiko take his free hand, though. “Wish I could have made it this year, Owen. Dom said it was a good one.”

“There’s next year,” said Owen. “I’m not selling the place, there will definitely be another Haunted Halloween House. Maybe you two would want to be actors? Undead lovers?”

“We’ll see,” said Kiko, although Dom could tell he hated the idea, and it made him smile. Kiko could be so unintentionally cute sometimes.
